No sooner had Carl Froch and George Groves agreed to a rematch than they got
back to what they seem to do best — criticising each other — with Froch
accusing Groves of “whingeing and moaning” his way into the bout.

The rematch, for Froch’s IBF and WBA super-middleweight titles, is set for May
31, with the venue likely to be either Old Trafford or the Emirates Stadium,
home of Arsenal. The first choice, Wembley Stadium, was ruled out because
England will play Peru in a football international the night before.
